Briefly

In the Maldives, Champagne house Ruinart and contemporary artist Liu Bolin collaborated on a thought-provoking live piece
"The Maison has long shone a light on exquisite art. Toward the end of the 19th century, the Maison commissioned Czech artist Alphonse Mucha to create its first advertisement, the first such collaboration between a Champagne house and an artist. Since 2008, 12 contemporary artists have been entrusted with Ruinart's Carte Blanche to reimagine not just the Maison's legacy, but also its long-standing pledge to sustainability."
"The jaw-dropping natural landscapes of the Maldives have long astonished travellers, drawing us back to the singular, glass-clear ocean, sugar-soft beaches and delicate coral reefs. And despite its unchanging position at the top of must-travel lists, this is a place that inspires - and requires - ecological protection as much as luxury island getaways. This subtle balance of beauty and sustainability"
"One such collaboration was with Liu Bolin, also known as The Invisible Man, who used his iconic style of disappearing into landscapes across the vineyards and cellars in Reims and has remained a collaborator with the brand since."
Jaw-dropping natural landscapes of the Maldives include a glass-clear ocean, sugar-soft beaches and delicate coral reefs that demand ecological protection alongside luxury tourism. Maison Ruinart, founded in 1729 as the world's first Champagne house, invited Chinese performance artist and photographer Liu Bolin to The Ritz-Carlton Maldives for a residency pairing beauty with sustainability. Since 2008 Ruinart has entrusted twelve contemporary artists with Carte Blanche to reinterpret its legacy and reinforce its pledge to sustainability. Liu Bolin, known as The Invisible Man, used his iconic disappearing style across Reims vineyards and continues collaborating with the Maison.
